Regal commission

Officer

A dark coat and a few plain buttons, in the gravity of a regimental portrait.
Studio example. A spaniel painted as an officer, in oil.
Studio example · Spaniel

The sitter wears a dark early-nineteenth-century coat, with plain buttons and no display of medals. The manner is an old-master oil, not a costume cartoon.

The dog remains recognisable. Rank is suggested by the cut of the coat and the dark ground, and then left alone.
